“Whenever you find tears in your eyes, especially unexpected tears, it is well to pay the closest attention. They are not only telling you something about the secret of who you are, but more often than not God is speaking to you through them of the mystery of where you have come from and where…you should go next.” (Frederick Buechner) This is the quote of the week for me. I keep reading and re-reading it. Tasting the words, reflecting on…
I have decided to start hosting blog carnevals every other Friday at FLOWING FAITH. There will be different themes for every blog carneval but they will all fit under the umbrella of Wild Grace. On the first and third Tuesday of each Month there will be a call for submission on the particular theme of the next blog carneval. The due date to send in all the blog entries is the following Tuesday and the blog carneval post will be…

When I moved to Minnesota to teach at Concordia College, Moorhead I purchased a shiny white car that I dubbed Grace. I felt it would be wonderful to drive around with Grace because grace was the best thing I knew. I heartily agreed with John the Baptist testifying “From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.

Why do we need to have a spiritual immune system? That’s easy. Life is hard, life is rough, life is difficult, even if we don’t talk about spiritual battles. Our faith is on line every day.
